Dedicated server needed!

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a server from Equonix with the following specifications:
- P4 2.8ghz processor
- 1GB RAM
- 120GB HD
- 1000GB Tier 1 Bandwidth
- cPanel + RvSkin + Fantastico installed
- 5 IP's
- 100MBPS Connection
- 100% Fully Managed

Price: $125.00 per month

It seemed like a great offer, they provided support through MSN, and e-mail response times were reasonable, that's what I like about this host, they are a great host, don't get me wrong. However, when it comes to uptime, they are horrifying! :rolleyes2

My server is down most of the time, there's a 50/50 chance it will be up, and a 50/50 chance it will be down :(

What I'm looking for:

- Fast support services, MSN support is highly appreciated, but not necessary as long as you reply to e-mails within a timely manner! :)
- Providers that know what they're doing and have years of experience in the industry
- The server must be hosted in a quality and well-known datacenter!
- Most important, 99.9% uptime!, or better ;) Just like you, I don't like downtime, it annoys me and makes me worried, I'd be very happy to have 99.9% uptime guaranteed!

If you can't offer 99.9% uptime, please don't post your offer.


Want my money?

If you think you are the perfect host for me, please do feel free to post your offers, either reply, PM me or contact me through MSN:
support@gayble.com

- Remember to base your offers on the specs mentioned at the top of this post! I'm open to all prices! ;)

That's all I ask for, thanks for your time!

Looking forward to moving to a better provider.

yes, it's a great offer considering price. however, a FULLY MANAGED box costs $200/month or more from my opinion.

if you are interested, I can offer you
- P4 3GHz / 1GB RAM / 80GB HD / CentOS / cPanel / 2mbps dedicated bandwidth at $150/month. This offer is good in this week only.

the server is located in our rack in Global Compass DC, in Atlanta, GA. It comes with basic management plan. That means you are the person to be in charge of server management, but our techs can help when needed. Usually we dont charge if the issues can be resolved within 30 minutes

let me know if you have any question about our services
thanks
 
if you need a fully managed server, I mean a pro-active service, so the provider needs to know problem before you, there are some great providers
- cyberwurx
- fastservers
- servint
- rackspace

again, a fully managed box costs a lot. I dont call cheap server as fully managed. It's something like semi-managed. The provider can fix server, but only when you ask them :) Go with one of above providers, and you see the difference
 
I would go with http://layeredtech.com though they are not managed though. But you can get someone to manage it for you for like $30 a month I hear. My staff could also manage your server for you to for like $30 a month just let me know thanks.
 
Thanks for the recommendations, gate2vn :)

Sorry shanee86, I'd prefer to have the provider manage the server for me instead of paying two different people for the server, one that provides it, and one that manages it.
 
Well my freind managed server alone costs atleast 75$ per month (for management) so forget about getting managed server for 150$ it will be very hard to get p4 with full management. If you do find one please let me know also.

You won't get a fully managed dedicated server for that price...you may get a "partially" managed (at best effort!) from a 13 year old at that price..but I doubt you want that.

Either:

A) Drop the management, which can make or break your company depending on your *Nix skills.
B) Increase your budget and get a quality provider.
 
Read my post, price doesn't matter too much too me, it's "What I'm looking for" that matters! :) Who wouldn't want to pay top dollar for a good quality server?

I apologize...I thought you wanted it for $125 like your old provider.

Take a look at www.liquidweb.com in that case.
